from melbourne to wherever

Packing, paperwork, and waiting

I had all of the emotions you could imagine sitting in the airport getting ready for an adventure on the other side of the globe. I was giddy and scared. I was excited and sad. I was a bit nauseous due to too much coffee.

The preparation had been tiresome. Paperwork for one school then paperwork for the other. I packed and unpacked. Trying to pack for four seasons in one suitcase is a daunting task. I ended up just packing a bunch of socks and underwear. I hope someone will want to trade a shirt for a pair of Joe Boxers with money signs on them.

I felt under-prepared when I left my house. Was I forgetting something? Most likely yes. Had I packed enough socks? In the back of my head I justified my lack of preparation for my sense of adventure, so who knows what will happen next. I knew that I was leaving this

Fears & Expectations (could be a good tom clancy novel)

Fears:

Where will I stay when I land in Sydney?

What should I do about a phone/eating/entertainment?

What will living in house with six strangers be like?

Expectations:

Going to the beach

Meeting awesome people from around the globe

Enjoying Melbourne

Maybe a little school work?

Well-written, graphically appealing, jealousy inspiring piece. I look forward to reading more of this excellent adventure. Hope to be part of the tale a few months down the road but for now I will settle for a simple shout out. “Big Boii” over and outtie5000.
